JOHN LARTER/CARTOONS






When I was a boy, my first encounter of automotive work to catch my eye was the great mags like CycleToons,DragToons and of course.....CarToons!
All of the artist heavily influenced me, Trosley,McCarthy,Big Deal and so many more.
John Larter was also one of those kats......
I recently caught up with John and we spoke.Now one of the more highly sought after political cartoonists..... He was very surprised anyone would remember his work for Peterson's CARTOONS......

Oh Mr. Larter..... you really left a mark on this little lad so many years ago.....

this guy is RAD...........

Funny you should mention it... I'm doing a blog series about cars and next week I'll be talking about CARtoons then. I'm going to mention how Larter is a political cartoonist now as well. I don't think people that were fans of the magazine ever forget the artists. Thanks for sharing!
